Description
Discovered in New Zealand, the Shirazz Magnolia, also known as Tulip Tree, is an upright, oval-shaped flowering tree that grows up to 20 feet tall and 15 feet wide, making it a good choice for small to medium-sized landscapes where larger-growing cultivars may not fit. In mid-spring, it produces a stunning profusion of large, fragrant, tulip-shaped, long-lasting, reddish-purple flowers with lilac-blushed interiors. The large, 7-9-inch-long leaves are rich green with a somewhat leathery appearance that contrasts nicely with other landscape plants that have finer foliage. Shirazz Magnolia is one of those special flowering trees that will always have you looking forward to its glorious spring bloom.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing up to 20 feet tall and 15 feet wide at maturity, the Shirazz Magnolia is ideal for use as a specimen in small to mid-sized landscapes or groupings where space allows. Its upright habit makes it particularly suitable for use as a street tree. It is also excellent for framing a home or other structure, and near patios and other outdoor sitting and living spaces, where it will provide some shade, allowing the beautiful flowers to be enjoyed up close. It is a fine addition to red or purple theme gardens, cut flower gardens, fragrance gardens, and cottage gardens.
Growing Preferences
The Shirazz Magnolia is easy to grow in moist, well-drained, acidic soil of average fertility, and prefers full sun to part shade. Avoid constantly soggy or wet soils. In alkaline soils, apply soil sulfur and/or chelated iron to increase acidity for deep greening of foliage. Pruning usually isn't necessary, however stray or damaged branches can be pruned immediately after flowering in spring. Feed after flowering in spring with a mild organic plant food or a well-balanced shrub and tree food containing iron or sulfur.
